Windows PS4 controller mapping

SDL Development
1

Hey,

Sorry if this is the wrong place - I tried to register an account on the
bug tracker but for some reason I never got an email to register.

Anyways, it appears the Windows mapping for PS4 controllers is wrong in (at
least) SDL 2.0.2. From
http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/tip/src/joystick/SDL_gamecontrollerdb.h -
Line 43:

"4c05c405000000000000504944564944,PS4

Controller,a:a3,a:b1,b:b2,back:b8,dpdown:h0.0,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.0,dpright:h0.2,dpup:h0.0,dpup:h0.1,guide:b12,leftshoulder:b4,leftshoulder:h0.0,leftstick:b10,leftstick:b7,lefttrigger:a3,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightshoulder:b5,rightshoulder:b6,rightstick:b11,righttrigger:a4,rightx:a2,righty:a5,start:b9,x:a4,x:b0,y:b3,",

Should probably be changed to:

"4c05c405000000000000504944564944,PS4

Controller,a:b1,b:b2,back:b8,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,dpup:h0.1,guide:b12,leftshoulder:b4,leftstick:b10,lefttrigger:a3,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightshoulder:b5,rightstick:b11,righttrigger:a4,rightx:a2,righty:a5,start:b9,x:b0,y:b3,",

That uses the same binding as OS X/Windows, and at least from my experience
works without issues.

Thanks,

Can you see if it landed in a spam folder somewhere? We get reports that
the email didn’t show up occasionally, and I’d really like to figure out
why.

Just pushed a fix for this, thanks!

Cool - thanks!

I checked the spam folder and didn?t find anything. Didn?t see anything in the server logs either - it?s like the message never made it to the server. Same goes for two other domains (on different providers) as well.
